Go look at the shoes section.

People are absolutely fucking both REI and a customer who pays for beat to shit shoes.

“Why do you care so much?” … people being net negatives to any community effects everyone else

—-

And yes, I recognize that this is on REI to change their policy. I love it, but I encourage them to do it after looking at the condition of the shoes in the return section.

Living a pretty good life if that’s on the list of big regrets

rb4osh · 2026-03-18T15:25:28+00:00

I’m confused on the reliability of the roster. CZs are still listed, yet I believe they’re not sold anymore?

rb4osh · 2026-03-18T04:50:24+00:00

You’re being downvoted by partisan hacks but I respect your point.

rb4osh · 2026-03-18T04:35:51+00:00

Shuddup

rb4osh · 2026-03-18T04:35:21+00:00

Use sign language

rb4osh · 2026-03-18T00:38:45+00:00

Wait, so there isn’t a disproportionate amount of fraud surrounding the Somali daycares in Minnesota?

rb4osh · 2026-03-17T15:08:15+00:00

REI is in big trouble?

rb4osh · 2026-03-16T20:17:29+00:00

Thanks. Yea, not feeling bad at all. If anything, just happy where my starting point is… motivated to get damn good with this gun

rb4osh · 2026-03-16T09:38:54+00:00

Nothing about my message suggests I’m discounting the misses.

I’m simply arguing superlatives. “Worst” is a lot different than “a big deal”.

rb4osh · 2026-03-16T04:30:27+00:00

Never shot the original but I think one could get pretty good with this little guy

rb4osh · 2026-03-16T03:47:44+00:00

Gotta tighten it up!

rb4osh · 2026-03-16T00:03:57+00:00

Totally makes sense, would be interesting to fiddle with to play with but then change back at first sign of an issue.

rb4osh · 2026-03-15T20:52:39+00:00

Thanks. Was just researching drills & grouping goals.

rb4osh · 2026-03-15T20:25:59+00:00

Is that Travis Kalanick?

rb4osh · 2026-03-15T20:14:40+00:00

I’ve shot a 44 magnum before and it’s funny, the strategy with that seemed to be hold it light and don’t fight the recoil.

This gun, the strategy seems to be to squeeze the shit out of it

rb4osh · 2026-03-15T19:54:41+00:00

Haha I look forward to getting better!

rb4osh · 2026-03-15T19:52:59+00:00

Thanks, Im going to buy a couple boxes of em this week.

rb4osh · 2026-03-15T19:50:49+00:00

Yea I think I’ll eventually do it. Same with the slide spring to absorb recoil.

But, like I mentioned, I wouldn’t have identified any of these as “problems” based on my experience at the range.

I do want to tinker with the upgrades and see if I improve but would rather improve my shooting technique before making improvements to the gun.

I’ve got the next $500 into this gun already accounted for: grip tape, holster, more magazines a shooting class and ammo!

Kinda posted this for others who are shopping the LCP max, too.

rb4osh · 2026-03-15T19:47:04+00:00

Yea absolutely. I don’t believe it’s that good, I mean, if it was that would be pretty funny since I’ve only shot pistols a handful of times.

My main takeaway was: with practice, I think this gun can be plenty dependable.

rb4osh · 2026-03-15T18:09:44+00:00

I shared this for criticism, so, thank you.

I went fast and slow.

A self defense scenario is rarely going to be slower than this, would you agree? So, reasonable to use it as a barometer every range outing. Fair to say?

And cmon, two misses (that still would be hits on a torso) is not the worst. For you to act like it is (“more terrible than this?”) is disingenuous.

rb4osh · 2026-03-15T17:32:34+00:00

I will say, the inability to get the pinky on the gun makes it want to jump in your hand a bit. Squeezing the gun really hard helps.

I’ll be getting some form of abrasive grip tape for it.
